r/OttawaSenators

Any particular logo or color scheme you would like to see?

Anyone else notice that the Sens don’t seem to be making tickets available in Season-Seat Member accounts until 48 hours before puck drop?

Is this a new policy for this season? Pretty inconvenient if you need to transfer or sell tickets to games you can’t attend. Curious if anyone has heard anything from their rep.

Thanks! 🙂

Hey, I'll be in Ottawa in Feb '27 from Wales to visit family who've recently relocated from Halifax.

We've tried to catch a major league sports event on most visits to North America but the week we're here the Senators play the Maple Leafs which I'm told is a rivalry.

Is there any hope of picking up some tickets on the secondary market closer to the game or am I better off finding some minor league sports to tie me over (back home I'm a football/soccer fan). If so, and you have any recommended sites I'm all ears.

Only after ticket advice but if this goes against subreddit rules feel free to remove. Thanks

Was living in Europe last year and obviously couldn’t catch much of the season. Recently moved back to Canada, so naturally getting the itch for hockey season again. Been watching various highlight packs from the fellas season last year and my god I do not remember Timmy being that good in 2024-25. The kid is a beast. so many goals created by his ability to pick off and strip pucks. the speed is next level and his shot is way better than what I remember.

Cozens can rip the pill and if he can find ways to get more pucks on net he’s gonna be a problem with less time and space. Probably has another gear and a half with the hockey sense that usually starts to develop in mid twenties.

Pinto is a second line centre.

I was going to stay away from negativity and I’m also stating the obvious here (and I guess the post as a whole), but man Tkachuk is slow and does not move his feet. Moves like the cyclopes in the Odyssey. Benefited a greatly from playing with Stutzle. If he wasn’t being much of a leader last year I don’t see him as being as hard to replace as many people have made it out to be. 

It’ll be more interesting to see if Eklund and Stutzle develop good chemistry, Cozens and Eklund, or perhaps the three - provided Grieg can handle 3rd line centre duties. 

Sens are in a better place than they were a year ago. GSG.

Saw a study ranking all 32 teams by total hits and total fights, averaged into one number. We came in 3rd at an average rank of 6, behind only Boston and Philly.

So the back-to-back champs played exactly like back-to-back champs are supposed to play, physically, and then missed the postseason entirely in an injury-wrecked year. That's the whole season in one line.

I don't think the identity is broken. When healthy this is still the most miserable team in the league to play sixty minutes against, and the numbers say we kept playing that way even as the roster got shredded. You don't finish 3rd in hits and fights by mailing it in.

But the rest of it is a gut punch. Four of the nine most physical teams missed the playoffs and we were one of them. Carolina won the Cup ranked 27th out of 32 in aggression. Colorado ranked dead last and made the conference final.

Get healthy and this is a non-story next year. Get healthy.

Ottawa’s pipeline was highly ranked for years, but as its top young players have aged out of prospect status, the situation has shifted drastically. The Senators have a couple of high-quality pro prospects, led by Carter Yakemchuk and Jonas Lagerberg Hoen, but after them the talent level drops off quite significantly.

2025 ranking: 27

2026 NHL Draft grade: C

Then we can give him the 'C'

I say give it to him without hesitation.

Now that we are in the dog days of summer, I find myself looking at the list of available free agents. It’s thin and underwhelming but teams can never have enough depth. The Sens could add some forwards and/d-men to insulate the roster for inevitable injuries. I am wondering who are some players folks might target, if any?

Some folks that catch my eye are Klingberg, Drouin, Reilly Smith, and Stanley (to sucker punch Brady again).

Does anyone have a link to a good-looking, ideally single page, colour schedule for the 2026-27 season I can put on my fridge?
